Man I've been waiting for something like this... those silly FB groups drive me up a wall!
Have had my 680 for just under a year. It was an early Christmas present from my SO. I'll share the funny part of that story:
Thanksgiving of '16 I decided to smoke a Turkey. I had never actually cooked a turkey in my life. It was just a 'misfits Thanksgiving' anyway, so why not give it a shot? So I babysat one of those cheap charcoal grill / smoker things I had won at a chili cook-off. Everyone said it was the best turkey they had ever had. For the next year, people kept asking if I was going to do that again.... I'd always say "I don't know, that was a lot of work... was it *that* good?" In the middle there somewhere, a friend of mine had a cookout at his place and I was introduced to his RecTec. I kept thinking about it, but I was in the middle of some major purchases and just didn't have the $$ to spare. In October, I get a surprise early Christmas gift... conveniently with about a month to 'learn' it before smoking another Thanksgiving turkey. Been using it as often as possible ever since - even a few times a month in the winter (which takes some effort here in Ohio)
